A very productive day in the WOT in Pakistan.

We never, ever, should have "gone it alone"! Productions as these never would have destroyed our credibility if we would have only been able to see a Clinton/Clinton third term! /sarcasm

Probably from sources already on the ground in Pakistan.
Perhaps they have just become more aggressive due to the attacks on Musharraf.

Dang, Pakistan is arresting them faster than we are. We apparently have one loose just south of Houston.

They aren't constrained in the 'niceties' of interrogation like we are. They are able to employ methods that can be very effective.

It says security agences. Prolly not the ISI, but some combo of Ministry of Interior troops, Sindh police and the Intelligence Bureau, perhaps even military police/rangers.

Looks like some inroads are being made against the ISI's stranglehold on the country.

Might force the jihadi generals and mullahs hands. But, hey, keep the pressure on.
